Week 9 Media Blog Forum

TOPIC 1: MUSIC'S INFLUENCE  Everyone has the right to view and look upon what they like. But as a family person I understand the meaning of protecting someone from viewing "corrupting influences." As the youngest of four I am well aware of the protective stance. Even though they tried to shielded me from all the bad influences I still saw them and viewed them like anyone else.
